D.
No
person shall discharge or cause to be discharged the following described
substances, materials, waters or wastes if it appears likely in the
opinion of the Building Official and Superintendent that such wastes
can harm either the sewers, sewage treatment process or equipment,
cause the City of Carl Junction, Missouri, to violate its NPDES permit,
have an adverse effect on the receiving stream or can otherwise endanger
life, limb, public property or constitute a nuisance. In forming his/her
opinion as to the acceptability of these wastes, the Building Official
and Superintendent will give consideration to such factors as the
quantities of subject wastes in relation to flows and velocities in
the sewers, materials of construction of the sewers, nature of the
sewage treatment process, capacity of the sewage treatment plant,
degree of treatability of wastes in the sewage treatment plant and
other pertinent factors. The substances prohibited are:
1.
Any liquid or vapor having a temperature higher than one hundred
fifty degrees Fahrenheit (150°F)(sixty-five degrees Celsius (65°C))
at the point before entering the public sewer or any sewage having
a temperature which will result in a waste with a temperature at the
introduction into the sewage works which exceeds one hundred four
degrees Fahrenheit (104°F)(forty degrees Celsius (40°C)) or
which cause interference at the sewage treatment plant.
2.
Any water or waste containing fats, wax, grease or oils, whether
emulsified or not, in excess of one hundred (100) mg/l or containing
substances which may solidify or become viscous at temperatures between
thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit (32°F) and one hundred fifty degrees
Fahrenheit (150°F) (zero (0) and sixty-five degrees Celsius (65°C)).

Any waters or wastes containing strong acid iron pickling wastes
or concentrated plating solutions whether neutralized or not.
5.
Any waters or wastes containing iron, chromium, copper, zinc and
similar objectionable or toxic substances; or wastes exerting an excessive
chlorine requirement to such degree that any such material received
in the composite sewage at the sewage treatment works exceeds the
limits established by the Superintendent for such materials.
6.
Any waters or wastes containing phenols or other taste- or odor-producing
substances in such concentrations exceeding limits which may be established
by the Superintendent as necessary, after treatment of the composite
sewage, to meet the requirements of State, Federal or other public
agencies of jurisdiction for such discharge to the receiving waters.
7.
Any radioactive wastes or isotopes of such half-life or concentration
as may exceed limits established by the Superintendent in compliance
with applicable State or Federal regulations.
8.
Materials which exert or cause:
a.
Unusual concentration of inert suspended solids (such as, but not
limited to, Fuller's earth, lime slurries and lime residues) or of
dissolved solids (such as, but not limited to, sodium chloride or
sodium sulfate).
b.
Excessive discoloration (such as, but not limited to, dye wastes
and vegetable tanning solutions).
c.
Unusual BOD, chemical oxygen demand, or chlorine requirements in
such quantities as to constitute significant load on the sewage treatment
works.
d.
Unusual volume of flow or concentrate of wastes constituting "slugs"
as defined herein.
9.
Waters or wastes containing substances which are not amenable to
treatment or reduction by the sewage treatment processes employed
or are amenable to treatment only to such degree that the sewage treatment
plant effluent cannot meet the requirements of other agencies having
jurisdiction over discharge to the receiving waters such as NPDES
permit requirements.
E.
If
any waters or wastes are discharged or are proposed to be discharged
to the public sewers, which waters or wastes contain the substances
or possess the characteristic enumerated in this Chapter and which
in the judgment of the Building Official may have deleterious effect
upon the sewage works, processes, equipment or receiving waters or
which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance,
the Building Official may:
1.
Reject the wastes; or
2.
Require, at the owner's expense, pretreatment facilities to reduce objectionable characteristics or constituents to within the maximum limits provided in Subsection (D) of this Section and/or Federal or State pretreatment standards; and/or
3.
Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge by developing
discharge limitations; and/or
4.
Require payment to cover the added cost of handling and treating the wastes not covered by existing taxes or sewer charges under the provisions of Section 700.050(J).
|
|
If the Building Official permits the pretreatment or equalization
of waste flows, the design and installation of the plants and equipment
shall be subject to the review and approval of the Building Official
and subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances
and laws.
|
F.
Grease, oil, and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the Building Official, they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid waste containing grease in excessive amounts or any flammable waste, sand, or other harmful ingredients, except that such interceptors shall not be required for private living quarters or dwelling units. All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Building Official and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. As a condition of the issuance of the annual business license for any such business within the Village, the owner and/or lessee or person in possession of such premises shall provide the certification by licensed plumber of the existence and proper operation of such interceptor. Any such business which shall, after notice, fail to provide such certification, will be in violation of Section 700.080 of this Code and subject to penalties as provided in Section 100.220 of this Code, including suspension of business license.
[Ord. No. 15-15 §1, 7-23-2015]
G.
Where
preliminary treatment or flow-equalizing facilities are provided for
any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory
and effective operation by the owner at his/her expense.
H.
When
required by the Building Official, the owner of any property serviced
by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install a suitable
control manhole together with such necessary meters and other appurtenances
in the building sewer to facilitate observation, sampling and measurement
of the wastes. Such manhole, when required, shall be accessible and
safely located and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved
by the Building Official. The manhole shall be installed by the owner
at his/her expense and shall be maintained by him/her so as to be
safe and accessible at all times.
I.
All
measurements, tests and analysis of the characteristics of waters
and wastes to which reference is made in this Chapter shall be determined
in accordance with the latest edition of "Standard Methods for the
Examination of Water and Wastewater" published jointly by the American
Public Heath Association, the American Water Works Association and
the Water Pollution Control Federation and shall be determined at
the control manhole provided or upon suitable samples taken at said
control manhole. In the event that no special manhole has been required,
the control manhole shall be considered to be the nearest downstream
manhole in the public sewer to the point at which the building sewer
is connected. Sampling shall be carried out by customarily accepted
methods to reflect the effect of constituents upon the sewage works
and to determine the existence of hazards to life, limb and property.
(The particular analysis involved will determine whether a twenty-four
(24) hour composite of all outfalls of a premises is appropriate or
whether a grab sample or samples should be taken. Normally, but not
always, BOD and suspended solids analyses are obtained from twenty-four
(24) hour composites of all outfalls whereas pHs are determined from
periodic grab samples.)
J.
No
statement contained in this Chapter shall be construed as preventing
any special agreement or arrangement between the Village and any industrial
concern whereby an industrial waste of unusual strength or character
may be accepted by the Village for treatment, subject to payment therefore,
by the industrial concern.
K.
Users
shall provide necessary wastewater treatment as required to comply
with all Federal Categorical Pretreatment Standards within the time
limitations as specified by the Federal Pretreatment Regulations.
Any State requirements and limitations on discharges shall apply to
any case where they are more stringent than Federal requirements and
limitations. Any facilities required to pretreat wastewater to a level
acceptable to the Village shall be provided, operated and maintained
at the user's expense. Detailed plans showing the pretreatment facilities
and operating procedures shall be submitted to the Village for review
and shall be acceptable to the Village before construction of the
facility. The review of such plans and operating procedures will in
no way relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying the facility
as necessary to produce an effluent meeting Federal categorical pretreatment
standards. Any subsequent changes in the pretreatment facilities or
method of operation shall be deported to and be acceptable to the
Village prior to the user's initiation of the changes.
[CC 1995 §46.360]
No unauthorized person shall maliciously, willfully or negligently
break, damage, destroy, uncover, deface or tamper with any structure,
appurtenance or equipment which is part of the sewage works. Any person
